GUI limits you to only write a smaller section of the SIMM starting at
the beginning, but the capability should be there in the Programmer
class to add a GUI feature for writing a section in the middle.
feature. The erase capability is there, so next up comes the write.
The next step is to add a mechanism to the protocol to start writing at
a location other than 0 (although this is not needed for this particular
feature, I'd like to have it in there first). Then, I have to update
this software to use that new protocol and make sure verification still
works. I'm about 50% done I'd say.
than MainWindow. Also, I think I have verify while writing working
but I can't test it yet because I haven't implemented in in the
firmware. Bumped version number up as well.
you flash a 512 KB file to a 2 MB SIMM, it will only read back 512 KB.
I haven't tested this other change yet, but after a verify, it should now
tell you which chips are returning bad data.
I also fixed a newly-introduced bug which caused the "erasing SIMM" message
to never appear because the code path that caused it to appear wasn't being
reached after my 8 MB SIMM support change.
Also fixed a few places where I didn't close the port if an error
occurred.
Updated version number to 1.0.1, but I won't release this version
until I know the bigger SIMM works.
In order to do this, I changed the Programmer class to no longer take a
filename, but a QIODevice. It should have been done that way originally.
I also rearranged code so that I close the serial port BEFORE sending out
any signals. This was causing a problem if I tried doing something in a
slot connected to one of those signals.
I also fixed a few places where I was forgetting to close the serial
port.
